Michael Szonyi received his BA from the University of Toronto and his D.Phil from Oxford University, where he was a Rhodes Scholar. He has also studied at National Taiwan University and Xiamen University. Prior to coming to Harvard in 2005, Prof. Szonyi taught at McGill University and University of Toronto. His main research interests are the local history of southeast China, especially in the Ming dynasty; the history of Chinese popular religion, and Overseas Chinese history. His most recent book is Cold War Island: Quemoy on the Front Line, published in 2008.
During the height of the Cold War in the 1950s the small island of Quemoy in the Taiwan Strait was the front line in the military standoff between Chiang Kai-shek's Republic of China and Mao Zedong's People's Republic. Local society and culture were dramatically transformed. Michael Szonyi uses oral history, official documents, and dissident writings to convey the history of the island during this period. In so doing, he sheds light on the social and cultural impact of the Cold War on those who lived through it, as well as on the relationship between China, the United States and the USSR at this critical moment. By analysing the effects of Quemoy's distinctive geopolitical situation on the economy, gender and the family, and citizenship and religion, the book provides a new perspective on the social history of Cold War relations, showing how geopolitics can affect individual lives and communities.

评分挺好看,可惜每章論述(特彆是靠前麵的章節)不夠深入
评分第十一章討論金門信仰世界的篇幅太短小瞭,雖然知道宋怡明教授的著重點還是在揭示軍事化、地緣政治與現代化間的復雜關係,但宗教相關的內容這樣少似乎沒法顯露他的專長。

评分在小一的提示下,決定把這學期torture的reading全部補完...這本書的理念很簡單清晰,一種軍事化的現代化進程與一種擱置正常發展的民眾生活方式(國傢時刻處於警備與暫時)很可惜為瞭整體格局的平衡,宋沒有很好地發揮他宗教研究和人類學的長處,關於冷戰期間的信仰闡述太匆忙,也太挑選。不過他也不誌業於冷戰,我導說他又搞迴明清瞭....
